I have not heard the government is now open but if it is that is great now maybe I can start  my FHA MORTGAGE LOAN to buy my house because the lady want to sell and I have lived her since my son was eight months old so he was raised here and I want to live the rest of my life here.  My son is now 22 years old and I don't want to move, there's this program  which I qualified for just built me a six thousand dollar ramp I won't qualify for another one I just hope we can get approved and finally own our home.

I say, impeach the whole lot of them.  They definitely have not acted in our interest but in their own self interest.

I am GLAD, I had been furloughed since the 1st and because I am a federal contractor not a government employee, I do not get back my pay for the days lost, my family will have a bad time comes next paycheck.  Fire the whole bunch, no matter what Reps or Dems they a re all a bunch of a$$$$les and spoiled children

The federal government is now open and back to business.  However, don't think that is going to change anything in Washington, D.C.  I think this "extension" is up in January so the whole morbid process will start all over again.  It is time to clean house from top to bottom in Washington, D.C.!!!  Vote everyone that is currently in office out at the next election.  One good thing about the next election, our current President is ineligible to run again, unless he changes the rules before then.  Nothing would surprise me, any more.

Still be careful before doing anything. The government doesnt  have the money to do much of anything.

I was too young to remember or even be aware of the previous shutdown. This time around, I watched it happen on the news from across the pond! Quite interesting to hear your government has shut down when you're on vacation.  :P

Politicians control the country and manipulate everything to suit their power struggles against each other. They no longer care about the country or the people. I didn't think I would ever say something like that about the US but it seems to be true lately.

We need to do some reforms.  In the State of California, no budget - no pay for the reps, until it is done.  I feel like they should all get the same insurance and social security that everyone else gets.  They should not get all the perks for the rest of their lives and also their spouses.    They should NOT get their checks like it was business as usual.   People who were furloughed should not get paid, as if they were on a paid vacation now that it is running again.  All of the domino effect to other business will not be repaid.  AND IF THEY DO PAY THEM WHAT WAS THE POINT?   I hope that people will remember this when the elections come around in their areas.    I think the Republicans and Tea Party people may have done  more harm than good for their causes.

As has been mentioned this is just a temporary fix to a major problem that I am not sure most of the voters of this country will understand.  The Federal government has borrowed more money than anyone living today could hope to see repaid given our current Gross Nationa Product where the Government Revenue is created by taxing the folks making the money.  All that has been accomplished is that we have moved the deadline for the Federal Debt Ceiling a little bit further down the timeline to mid January.  Do we honestly think that there will be a solution by than?  I for one so doubt it I would be willing to bet a Trillion dollars if I had it.  So get ready to go through it all again in January.

What a farce, The republicians and democrtes should have been able to sit down and get this cra#  straightened out and as for our president he needs to be impached he would not work with the house at all. It was his way or no way.  He has done nothing to help our country at all. But he is about to bring it down. I shudder to think what is is going to look like in the next few years until we can get him out. The next president will really have a lot to blame on obama then.

It`s pathetic to me that the news reports this as the fault of the Tea party in the GOP. They offered 5 different plans that the Senate and Obama refused to consider

yes but they didnt accomplish anything. we're still in debt and put alot of people out of a job for a while. that's no way to act. our government is stupid. some people need to be fired and our president impeached.
